Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 136 / Tuesday, July 20, 2021 / Rules and Regulations
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
This direct final rule does not impose
a new collection requirement under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501–3521). This direct final rule
does not impose new recordkeeping or
reporting requirements on State or local
governments, individuals, businesses, or
organizations. Although the direct final
rule is applicable to an existing
collection of information, the rule
merely clarifies certain recordkeeping
requirements that already apply to
registrants using DEA Form 222 and
therefore does not impose any new
collection of information requirement.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor,
and a person is not required to respond
to, a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
Congressional Review Act
OIRA has determined that this direct
final rule is not a major rule as defined
by Subtitle E of the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of
1996 (known as the Congressional
Review Act or CRA), 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
This direct final rule will not result in
an annual effect on the economy of $100
million or more; a major increase in
costs or prices; or significant adverse
effects on competition, employment,
investment, productivity, innovation, or
the ability of United States-based
companies to compete with foreign-
based companies in domestic and
export markets. However, pursuant to
the CRA, DEA is submitting a copy of
this direct final rule to both Houses of
Congress and to the Comptroller
General.
List of Subjects

Drug traffic control, Reporting and
recordkeeping requirements.

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 136 / Tuesday, July 20, 2021 / Rules and Regulations
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
: On June
21, 2021, OSHA issued an ETS to
protect healthcare and healthcare
support service workers from
occupational exposure to COVID–19 in
settings where people with COVID–19
are reasonably expected to be present.
The public comment period for the
ETS was to close on July 21, 2021, 30
days after publication of the ETS.
However, OSHA received requests from
several stakeholders to extend the
comment period by an additional 30
days, through August 20, 2021
(Document ID 1078; 1079; 1080; 1082;
1083; 1086; 1088; 1089). These
stakeholders explained that they need
additional time to thoroughly review the
ETS, gather input from members, and
prepare informed comments (see, e.g.,
Document ID 1078; 1079; 1080; 1082;
1083; 1086; 1087; 1088; 1089).
OSHA agrees to an extension and
believes a 30-day extension of the
public comment period is sufficient and
appropriate in order to address these
stakeholder requests. Therefore, the
public comment period will be
extended until August 20, 2021.

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
§ Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background Information and
Regulatory History
On February 22, 2021, the Kent
Narrows Racing Association of Chester,
MD, notified the Coast Guard that it will
be conducting the Thunder on the
Choptank from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on
July 24, 2021, and those same hours on
July 25, 2021. The high-speed power
boat racing event consists of
approximately 50 participating inboard
and outboard hydroplane and runabout
race boats of various classes, 16 to 21
feet in length. The vessels will be
competing on a designated, marked 1-
mile oval course located in the
Choptank River in a cove located
between Hambrooks Bar and the
shoreline at Cambridge, MD. Details of
the event were provided to the Coast
Guard on April 19, 2021. In response,
on June 7, 2021, the Coast Guard
published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) titled Special Local
Regulations; Choptank River,
Cambridge, MD (86 FR 30221). There we
stated why we issued the NPRM, and
invited comments on our proposed
regulatory action related to this
fireworks display. During the comment
period that ended June 22, 2021, we
received no comments.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for
making this rule effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal
Register. Delaying the effective date of
this rule would be impracticable
because the regulated area is needed
prior to the start of the event on July 24,
2021, in order to safeguard the public
from hazards from power boat racing,
including risks of injury or death
resulting from near or actual contact
among participant vessels, spectator
vessels or waterways users if normal
traffic were to interfere with the event.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule
under the authority in 46 U.S.C. 70041.
The Captain of the Port Maryland-
National Capital Region (COTP) has
determined that potential hazards
associated with the power boat races
would be a safety concern for anyone
intending to operate within certain
waters of the Choptank River at
Cambridge, MD. The purpose of this
rulemaking is to protect event
participants, spectators, and transiting
vessels on certain waters of Choptank
River before, during, and after the
scheduled event
IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes,
and the Rule
As noted above, we received no
comments on our NPRM published June
7, 2021. There are no changes in the
regulatory text of this rule from the
proposed rule in the NPRM.
The COTP Maryland-National Capital
Region is establishing special local
regulations from 9 a.m. on July 24, 2021
until 6 p.m. on July 25, 2021. The
special local regulations will be
enforced from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on July
24th and those same hours on July 25th.
The regulated area will cover all
navigable waters within Choptank River
and Hambrooks Bay bounded by a line
connecting the following coordinates:
Commencing at the shoreline at Long
Wharf Park, Cambridge, MD, at position
latitude 38°34′30″ N, longitude
076°04′16″ W; thence east to latitude
38°34′20″ N, longitude 076°03′46″ W;
thence northeast across the Choptank
River along the Senator Frederick C.
Malkus, Jr. (US–50) Memorial Bridge, at
mile 15.5, to latitude 38°35′30″ N,
longitude 076°02′52″ W; thence west
along the shoreline to latitude 38°35′38″
N, longitude 076°03′09″ W; thence north
and west along the shoreline to latitude
